So why, out of every quote in every fandom, do I always remember this one line? It's because real friendships never die. They survive even death itself. I actual used that line in my last letter to Rose. I meant it too. He may not care for me anymore, but I shall always be his friend. That line while poignant always leaves me with a slightly empty feeling. Maybe because one person is gone, but the whole world seems empty. I miss my friend because that's what he will always be.
I also think that Leonard Nimoy delivered the most memorable scene in all of Star Trek because it illustrates how important friendship is. These were two people, Kirk and Spock, whose friendship they relied on. They accomplished so much together. Sometimes I think people forget how important friendships are. Some friendships can change your life and it doesn't matter how brief the friendship is because that is a relationship, that at its heart, is the most human.
I would just like to thank Mr. Nimoy for that beautifully delivered line. It has been one of the defining scenes of my life. You will be missed.
